In the first still of the 'Touch of Evil' sequence, a time bomb is used as a key prop which could be a essential part of the plot. in our sequence, the car key was used to open the car which Estefanie had used. in both sequences, they are both seen in a close-up to draw the audience into the character and the prop. This leads her to be seen as a protagonist as she goes about her everyday life.
'Touch of Evil' is set in an urban environment depicting of suburban streets likewise to our sequence, Estefanie is walking from her house to the car showing the audience the type of environment that she lives in. This is used as establishing shots where the audience is immediately introduced to the setting of the film.
In our sequence, close-ups are used to draw the audience to a particular detail. For example, where Catherine is calling Estefanie to see where she is. This leads the audience to simplify with her and possibly work out where she might be. This encourages the audience to be drawn into the storyline. Another close-up which we used in our title sequence was when Estefanie was looking into the rear mirror where it could lead the audience to believe that someone may be behind her that she may not know about. Evidently, this creates suspense allowing the audience to 'want' to see more. It also establishes her mood where close-ups are great for displaying the overall tone of the film. Likewise, in 'Touch of Evil', the last still shows two people looking in the left direction where the lady looks apprehensive and scared as she clings onto the man. This creates suspense as the audience is eager to know why she is looking so scared.
